TGO Challenge pages
The blogroll on the right displays ten links to other sites that you might like to try out - there are a lot more, and the list will change each time
you visit or 'refresh' the page.

Pistols at Dawn
No, nothing to do with duellists, nor an assassination attempt on
Dawn, but an interesting article on hygiene in the great outdoors by Eddie Meecham in the latest
TGO magazine. Well worth a read before you rush off to buy the latest water filter. There is no doubt that most of the ailments blamed on ‘the water’ are more to do a with lack of basic hygiene. Eddie examines the science behind the different cleansing agents available, and their effectiveness.
As usual, Eddie’s piece veers delightfully toward the surreal when he advocates a water pistol douche to complete one’s ablutions - mind you, this could be the source of endless fun between close friends interested in a little light target practice of a morning.
For the most part, though, this is a good article, with good information and a dash of common sense. Nice one, TGO.

This might just be the end of a beautiful relationship...
Spoilsport!
With the amount of snow melt now coming down the use of water pistols could be a terrible shock to the system if used as suggested in the article. Stick to warm and soft tissue for comfort.
